By United Press.
Mexico City, Sept. 16.—Mexico is
about to resume her place among the
republics of the western hemisphere
after years of revolutionary disturbances. A decree iBseud by General
Carranza on the eve of the celebration
of the anniversary of Mexican independence prepares the way for the
present de facto government to be
replaced by a substantial constitutional government. It is the most
Important proclamation issued by the
first chief since he took up arms
against Huerta.
The decree calls for a revision of
several articles of the plan of Guad-
alonpe drawn up on Dec. 12, 1914,
and makes provision for the election
of members of a national congress.
Another decree will be issued tomorrow calling for the election of a constitutional congress on Oct 15. The
first session of the new congress will
oe held Nov. 20, probably at Coyoacen
a snburb of Mexico City.
The decree issued last night pro-
vWies that each state and territory-
shall elect a deputy to congress and
a sub-deputy for every 70,000 inhab
itants and an additional deputy if the
fraction above 70,000 exceeds two-
sevenths of that number. Any state
or territory having 70,000 Inhabitants
is entitled to select a deputy and sub-
deputy also. The eligibility requirements are the same as those provided
in the election of 1857. Those who
opposed the constitutional government with arms will be ineligible to
hold office.
General Carranza will hand the reformed constitution to the assembly
to be improved or changed in accordance, with the plans outlined by
the constitutional party. The national congress will be in session not
more than two months, when it will
be dissolved.
After the constitution has been
adopted, General Carranza will call
for the election of a president. He
will then make a report on the accomplishments of his administration
before the newly seated congress and
turn over the executive power to the
president-elect.
The capital was in gala dress today
during the preliminary ceremonies
preceding the anniversary celebration tomorrow.
